Transportation must take place in full compliance with the requirements set out in Regulation (EC) No 1/2005, and Olot Meats must log all supervised unloadings (the vehicle’s condition, space allowances, cleanliness, etc.).

Olot Meats performs its own in-house inspections regarding animal welfare, accredited by duly authorised certification bodies.
